Thank you for the reply. t=24hr and R=A/A0=(41.4minute-1)/118.3minute-1 I certainly agree with what you are saying about the time derivative of a time, I wasn't sure on this myself. The half-life itself is not a function of time anyways, so not sure how the time derivative makes sense or why...

In this homework question we are told to calculate the half-life of an isotope based on count-rates before and after a given time interval, the relevant equation is given below. Half-life = t1/2 = tln(2)/ln (A/A0) The second part asks to determine the standard deviation of the half-life due...

Good day all, I've been a lurker for years but for some reason never joined despite often finding helpful advice and explanations on the forums. Glad to finally be joining and hoping to provide some helpful insights to others in the admittedly few areas where I have the facility. And of...
